A senior Iranian lawmaker warned the Netherlands on Monday not to allow the screening of what it called an anti-Islamic film produced by Dutch politician, claiming it "reflects insulting views about the Holy Koran."
Alaeddin Boroujerdi, head of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, promised widespread protests and a review of Iran's relationship with the Netherlands if Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders' work is shown.
"If Holland will allow the broadcast of this movie, the Iranian parliament will request to reconsider our relationship with it," Boroujerdi said, according to IRNA, the official Iranian news agency. "In Iran, insulting Islam is a very sensitive matter and if the movie is broadcasted it will arouse a wave of popular hate that will be directed towards any government that insults Islam.
Wilders calls his 10-minute film "a call to shake off the creeping tyranny of Islamicization, " and said it could air as early as this week on Dutch television.
"People who watch the movie will see that the Koran is very much alive today, leading to the destruction of everything we in the Western world stand for, which is respect and tolerance," Wilders, the 41-year-old leader of the right-wing Party for Freedom, said last month in a telephone interview with FOXNews.com.

One country telling another country what to do. Good grief!
I’m sure Holland has already wet its pants and apologized.
Amazing that Iran hasn’t warned the WSJ about its article about the document films of ancient Korans.
WARN? SHOW THE FILM! This is a threat and I hope they see it as such.
Uh-—oohhh, me smells trouble. I visited there and there alot of them there, trouble is rising on the horizon. To my fellow Dutch People be on guard and throw the trouble-makers out of the country./Just Asking - seoul62.....
The Qur’an is about as holy as the Protocols of the Elders of Zion...
Not very.
...And not very inspiring either.
Toss ‘em in the sea
Invite them for a visit to Aruba, they'll never find the bodies.
.
A 10-minute film? YouTube it.
> I’m sure Holland has already wet its pants and apologized.
No, that would be France then.
That cutting off heads part is very inspiring. /s
“a wave of popular hate” seems continually popular there.
After this “threat”, ad rates for the time slot must have shot through the roof.
I’m playing it at my place.
How’s ‘bout somebody come stop me?
“People who see the movie will see how VILE the Koran and the Muzzies are, and we don’t want that.” There, truth in advertising.
Show it.
Show it now.
Show it often.
I think the whole world should show it at exactly the same time, so that Iran knows it is out-numbered.
I’ll try to get as many copies as I can and give it out in front of a large mosque in my area.
